The header <boost/core/noinit_adaptor.hpp> provides the class template boost::noinit_adaptor that converts any allocator into one whose construct(ptr) performs default initialization via placement new, and whose destroy(ptr) invokes value_type destructor directly.

The following example shows use of this allocator adaptor to achieve default initialization of elements of a trivial type, which are later assigned values.

#include <boost/core/noinit_adaptor.hpp>
#include <numeric>
#include <vector>

int main()
{
    std::vector<int, boost::noinit_adaptor<std::allocator<int> > > v(5);
    std::iota(v.begin(), v.end(), 1);
}

The allocate_shared_noinit function templates are now implemented simply using allocate_shared with noinit_adaptor.

template<class T, class A>
enable_if_t<is_unbounded_array_v<T>, shared_ptr<T> >
allocate_shared_noinit(const A& a, size_t n)
{
    return allocate_shared<T>(boost::noinit_adapt(a), n);
}

template<class T, class A>
enable_if_t<!is_unbounded_array_v<T>, shared_ptr<T> >
allocate_shared_noinit(const A& a)
{
    return allocate_shared<T>(boost::noinit_adapt(a));
}
namespace boost {

template<class A>
struct noinit_adaptor
    : A {
    template<class U>
    struct rebind {
        typedef noinit_adaptor<allocator_rebind_t<A, U> > other;
    };

    noinit_adaptor() noexcept;

    template<class U>
    noinit_adaptor(U&& u) noexcept;

    template<class U>
    noinit_adaptor(const noinit_adaptor<U>& u) noexcept;

    template<class U>
    void construct(U* p);

    template<class U>
    void destroy(U* p);
};

template<class T, class U>
bool operator==(const noinit_adaptor<T>& lhs,
    const noinit_adaptor<U>& rhs) noexcept;

template<class T, class U>
bool operator!=(const noinit_adaptor<T>& lhs,
    const noinit_adaptor<U>& rhs) noexcept;

template<class A>
noinit_adaptor<A> noinit_adapt(const A& a) noexcept;

} /* boost */

noinit_adaptor() noexcept;

Effects

Value initializes the A base class.

template<class U> noinit_adaptor(U&& u) noexcept;

Requires

A shall be constructible from U.

Effects

Initializes the A base class with std::forward<U>(u).

template<class U> noinit_adaptor(const noinit_adaptor<U>& u) noexcept;

Requires

A shall be constructible from U.

Effects

Initializes the A base class with static_cast<const A&>(u).

template<class U> void construct(U* p);

Effects

::new((void*)p) U.

template<class U> void destroy(U* p);

Effects

p->~U().

template<class T, class U> constexpr bool operator==(const noinit_adaptor<T>& lhs, const noinit_adaptor<U>& rhs) noexcept;

Returns

static_cast<const T&>(lhs) == static_cast<const U&>(rhs).

template<class T, class U> constexpr bool operator!=(const noinit_adaptor<T>& lhs, const noinit_adaptor<U>& rhs) noexcept;

Returns

!(lhs == rhs).

template<class A> noinit_adaptor<A> noinit_adapt(const A& a) noexcept;

Returns

noinit_adaptor<A>(a).
